3 Benefits of an Office Dehumidifier

Which HVAC commercial services enhance working conditions?

HVAC commercial services differ slightly from those offered to residential clients. The environments look similar, but offices have distinct heating and cooling needs. Climate control also has a bigger impact at work, where discomfort can hinder everything from productivity to morale.

Here are three surprising benefits of an office dehumidifier:

1. Healthier Hair, Skin and Nails

Depending on the type of business you run, the appearance of your team could be important. Does being attractive give workers a boost? A dehumidifier will help preserve that perfect image. High levels of indoor humidity have a physical impact, especially on hair. It also affects eyes and nasal membranes. Moisture levels should stay between 30 and 50 percent for optimal health.

2. Lower Risk of Mold Growth

In hot, humid climates, it’s imperative to keep a short leash on mold and mildew. Mildew is an unsightly growth you can count on to alienate your employees. Mold is potentially toxic. It’s also hard to eradicate, so prevention is key.

3. Increased Comfort for a Lower Cost

Dehumidifiers work to undo the sticky, sweaty conditions caused by summer’s humidity. By reducing the moisture in the air, human skin has an easier time sweating. The air feels cooler because of it, even if the temperature hasn’t changed. You can keep your employees comfortable without blowing your budget on the AC. More importantly, you’ll have a happier workforce, which carries rich benefits when it comes to low turnover rates and heightened productivity.
